Gatchina Palace and Estate (St. Petersburg, Russia)
The palace and park at Gatchina dates back to the time of Empress Catherine II. In 1765, the tsarina gave her favourite, Count Grigory Orlov, a lavish gift – the Gatchina estate. The picturesque landscape, spring-fed lakes with connecting tributaries and rivers made it possible to create here the unique landscape park with the palace of remarkable architecture as its focal point.
Russian Palaces 3 Gatchina Большой Гатчинский дворец
The Great Gatchina Palace (Russian: Большой Гатчинский дворец) was built in 1766--1781 in Gatchina town (Russia) by Antonio Rinaldi for Count Grigori Grigoryevich Orlov who was a favourite of Ekaterina II. The Gatchina Palace is located on the hill above Lake Serebryannoe. It combines themes of a medieval castle and a country residence. Palace interiors are exemplary of Russian classicism at the turn of XVIII—XIX centuries. The Gatchina Palace was one of the favourite residences of the Imperial family

In this video you will see aerial video of us flying over an extravagant Gatchina gardens and Palace. This popular historic tourist attraction is located just outside of St Petersburg. Gatchina Palace was designed by the architect Antonio Renalde and was build 1766-1781 by the order of Katherine II for her favourite Count Grigoriy Orlov. Later this palace became imperial residence of Paul I, Nikolai I, Alexandr II, and Alexandr III. With every owner the palace was somehow altered, whether the architecture or the interior design to keep up with the European stile at that time. During the WWII most of the valuable artefacts were evacuated and hidden. After the nazi occupancy was over the palace was in a very bad shape with most of the palace ruined by fire. After extensive restoration the palace opened its doors to the public as a museum.

Russian Empresses: Fashion and Style
An exhibition for the 400th anniversary of the Romanovs' House will unfold two captivating subjects: fashion and style of the Russian empresses.
Fashion is due to the fact that fashion and the woman are inseparable, whereas style reflects a person's character and tastes.
The exposition hinges on seven Russian empresses' life limited to palace apartments (late 18th -- early 20th centuries). Finery, accessories, and jewelry of the wives and mothers of Russian emperors astounded with their refinement and luxury and were a part of the image of the Russian power.
Visitors will see dresses from collections of the Hermitage Museum and the Gatchina Memorial Estate, as well as paintings, engravings, porcelain and jewelry, diaries, letters, drawings, photos and books.
The exhibition Russian Empresses: Fashion and Style. Late 18th -- early 20th centuries will be held in the Showroom of the Federal Archives from April 4 to June 13.
Exhibit In The Children's Rooms opens at Alexander Palace
Set out in the second floor of the Alexander Palace, in the rooms of the children of Nicholas II. Items included cover period from Nicholas I to Nicholas II.
You will see over 200 objects, many of them unique and displayed for the first time. Of particular interest are the authentic toys of the last tsar's children, including the grand duchesses' favourite French porcelain doll and Heir Tsesarevich Alexei's American Indian wigwam and pirogue.
Opens June 2 to September 11, 2011 at the Alexander Palace (2nd floor), 10.00-17.00 daily except Tuesdays and the last Wednesday of each month. Ticket price 100 rubles, reduced prices for students.
Game room was great, m 60. It fits the railway, lodge, canoe, toy St. Bernard, drums, and it is certainly not an exhaustive list.
Iraida Bott, Deputy Director of the State Museum Tsarskoe Selo in scientific work: Toys and presents from neighbors and distant relatives. Alexei's Grandmother Maria Feodorovna gave him for his birthday a donkey, and a children car.
Here is the crown prince on the photo next to his favorite donkey Vanka. The harness presented by the King Vittorio Emanuele. Massive, brilliant - see it here today at the Alexander Palace, among black and white photographs and colorful toys.
Emil Kapelyush, artist: The task was so to create a feeling as if a boy or a girl just came out into the corridor, and hear their voices. But it is rather felt at the level of sensation.
The story of those toys could hardly be more dramatic. When their owners are taken away, the toys remain. In 1931 the toys were given to different organizations, and, fortunately, most of them ended up in the museum of Zagorsk. What remained of the ceremonial uniforms of the Tsarevich and Grand Duchesses, too, is almost a miracle.
Olga Taratynova, director of the State Museum Tsarskoe Selo: It happened that during the evacuation of the collection of the Alexander Palace in 1941, the items lacked the wrapping material. And things who went to the evacuation, should be packed. And began to turn in their uniforms.
The watercolors show the playing room, the bedrooms of the grand duchesses, not at all similar to the palace chambers, wigwam in the middle of playing room, a toy booth guard and a host of priceless museum staff for details.
So a lot of toys, which were in the Alexander Palace, do not mean that the children mainly played. Quite the contrary: most of the time paid tuition and various other matters.
Miraculously survived the year 1916-1917 schedule. Here we see that classes begin at 9 am and end only at 8 pm. This two breaks for lunch and a walk. Petrov signed a secret adviser.
Alexandra Feodorovna never loved her children lazy. At least, it concerned daughters. Tsarevich allowed anymore, and he's probably - the protagonist of this exhibition. Who left their toys, and he remained only in photographs: a uniform, zalomlennoy cap zhmuryaschiysya, though the bright sun in the garden of the Alexander Palace.
Tsar Nicholas II's Winter Palace Armoire from M.S. Rau Antiques
30-6098 TSAR NICHOLAS II'S WINTER PALACE ARMOIRE
Towering just over eleven feet high, this magnificent ash armoire was specially created to reside in the Winter Palace, the residence of Tsar Nicholas II, the last known Russian Emperor. Masterfully crafted, the majestic piece took 26 years and a team of 14 artists and sculptors to complete, and no attention to detail was spared. Corinthian columns, stepped arches, elaborate turrets, and urns lavishly adorn the amazing architectural work, which is truly the finest example of the cabinetmaker’s art.
Nicholas II became Emperor in 1895, during a period of great political unrest. Prior to the Revolution of 1905, Nicholas moved his headquarters from the Winter Palace just south of St. Petersburg to Tsarskoye Selo, the summer home of the Tsars where he remained until the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.
This armoire and a similar library cabinet eventually surfaced in the cargo of a freight-ship in Ghent, Belgium, in 1935. After the owner of the freight-ship passed away, both cabinets remained untouched until 1940 when they were seized by Ghent customs officials due to unpaid harbor charges. Created in 12 boxes, the two pieces were sold to a local cheese import/export firm who assembled the cabinets in a warehouse. The magnificent Russian cabinets were then publicly exhibited during World War II, drawing large crowds to see the “famous Russian cabinets.” Since the war, this cabinet has remained in the hands of private collectors, until now.
The Winter Palace, one-time residence of the tsars and now the home of the Hermitage, is the most famous building of Imperial St. Petersburg. The Hermitage was built in 1762 for Empress Catherine the Great to house her private collection and has since become, along with the Louvre, the world’s largest museum of art.

The Stroganov Palace is a Late Baroque palace at the intersection of the Moika River and Nevsky Prospect in St. Petersburg, Russia. The palace was built to Bartolomeo Rastrelli's designs for Baron Sergei Grigoriyevich Stroganov in 1753-1754. The interiors were remodeled by Andrei Voronikhin at the turn of the 19th century.
The Stroganov Palace was nationalized in 1918, and originally operated as a Museum of Aristocratic Life. This, however, was closed in 1929, and the exhibits were handed over to the Hermitage. Other artifacts from the palace were passed to other Soviet museums or sold abroad. From then on the palace served as offices for various Soviet enterprises, including a botanical institute and as a ship-building research facility.
The building was passed by the government to the Russian Museum in 1988, and the Stroganov Palace has been the subject of intensive restoration work ever since. External restoration was completed in 2003, while the results of work on the interiors are now gradually being revealed.

The estate is known from the late 16th century, when it belonged to Tsarina Irina, sister of Tsar Boris Godunov. At that time it was called Bogorodskoye. In the 17th century it belonged to the Streshnevs and then to the Galitzines. In 1775, when the estate was bought by empress Catherine the Great, it received its present name, which means Tsarina's. In 1776-85 architect Vasili Bazhenov built a new palace for the Empress here, but in 1786 Catherine ordered it to be partly pulled down. Until 1797 architect Matvey Kazakov was working on the construction, but the palace remained unfinished. Currently, in Tsaritsyno there are a history and architecture museum, a landscape park with an adjacent forest, an art museum, the Biryulyovo dendropark, and a cascade of the Tsaritsyno ponds. Bazhenov's Opera House, 1776-8. The 18th-century architecture ensemble was built (though not finished) following the order of Catherine II in pseudo-Gothic style, after projects of the Bazhenov and Kazakov, and it is the only 18th-century architectural ensemble of such dimensions in Russia. Around the palace, in the park there are a number of pavilions, pergolas, arbours, artificial grottos, decorative bridges (early 19th century, architect I. Yegotov), and a Russian Orthodox temple Source of Life, as well as a modern recreation center with an upscale restaurant. For a long time most buildings were ruined (and alpinists used them for training). Recently most buildings have been completed: rooftops, interiors and decorations have been added and their historical appearance has been altered. A number of buildings house the Russian museum of folk and applied art. The atrium of the Bread House is use
